Update: T&T opened to crazy lineups on October 28th.
Update #2: It would seem as though the original “proposed Starbucks” is now a proposed Second Cup. Disappointing. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had particularly great service at a Second Cup. The proposed Moxies is also now missing from the updated site plan. Yangtse has been added in the new plan as well.
With a little googling I’ve discovered what other stores will be opening in the new retail plaza on the south-east side of Huntclub Rd. at Riverside Drive. According to a recent siteplan, we’ll see the following join T&T:
- Starbucks
- Moxie’s Classic Grill
- Harvey’s
- PC Cyber
- Noir Spa (now open)
- Dentist
- Andalos Shwarma
- a First Choice Haircutters
- and additional two proposed restaurants (or banks) – one of which I’ve heard rumblings may be a Royal Oak Heart and Crown. *this may have been superceded by Moxies.
This will certainly be a welcome addition to the neighbourhood for those working out of the nearby IBM/Cognos building and for those in the office buildings at Prince of Wales and Antares Drive. I for one can’t wait to be within biking distance of a massive asian grocery store, Starbucks, and PC Cyber (although I probably would have preferred a Canada Computers!).
Although some online forums have indicated T&T would be opening in October, the site plan/leasing package indicates late summer ‘09.
You can download the site plan here from Brentcom.
